Legendary German film-maker Wim Wenders recently opened an exhibition in London of his photographs capturing the devastation wrought by the 9/11 attacks, which he hopes also convey "surreal beauty".

The showcase - Wim Wenders: Photographing Ground Zero, at the Imperial War Museum - presents large-scale images of the apocalyptic scenes shot by the veteran director less than two months after the attacks.
